Abstract

Abstract This study assessed the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the number of new contraceptive acceptors in Senegal overall and by method. Monthly service data from March 2019 to December 2020 were extracted for the number of new contraceptive users of IUDs, implants, injectables, and oral contraceptive pills (OCPs). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and interrupted time series analysis for trend analyses overall and by the contraceptive method. Following the announcement of the first COVID‐19 case in Senegal in March 2020, there was an immediate significant decrease in the number of new acceptors overall, and for new users of implants and injectables. From March–December 2020, the trend in monthly new family planning acceptors increased overall, mainly driven by significant increases in new IUD and implant acceptors. Compared to the period before the onset of COVID‐19, there was a statistically significant shift from shorter‐acting methods (OCPs, injectables) to long‐acting reversible methods (IUDs, implants). Despite the immediate adverse impact of COVID‐19‐related restrictions, the number of new acceptors rebounded, trends in the number of new monthly acceptors significantly increased, and there was a significant shift to longer‐acting methods.

COVID - 19是否影响避孕措施的使用?来自塞内加尔的证据

本研究评估了COVID - 19大流行对塞内加尔总体和方法新避孕接受者人数的影响。提取2019年3月至2020年12月的每月服务数据，以获取宫内节育器、植入避孕药、注射避孕药和口服避孕药(ocp)的新使用者人数。数据分析采用描述性统计和中断时间序列分析总体趋势分析和避孕方法。继2020年3月在塞内加尔宣布首例COVID - 19病例后，总体新受体数量以及植入物和注射剂新使用者数量立即大幅减少。从2020年3月至12月，每月新增计划生育受体总体呈上升趋势，主要是由于新增宫内节育器和植入物受体显著增加。与COVID - 19发病前相比，从短效方法(ocp，注射)到长效可逆方法(宫内节育器，植入物)的转变具有统计学意义。尽管受到COVID - 19相关限制的直接不利影响，但新受体的数量出现反弹，每月新受体数量的趋势显着增加，并且向长效方法的显著转变。
